FriBidi is exhautively tested +against Bidi Reference Code, and due to our best knowledge, does not contain +any conformance bugs. + +In the API, we were inspired by the document "Bi-Di languages support - BiDi +API proposal" by Franck Portaneri which he wrote as a proposal for adding BiDi +support to Mozilla. + +Internally the library uses Unicode entirely. The character property function +was automatically created from the Unicode property list data file, +PropList.txt, available from the Unicode Online Data site. This means that +every Unicode character will be treated in strict accordance with the Unicode +specification. The same is true for the mirroring of characters, which also +works for all the characters listed as mirrorable in the Unicode specification. + +WWW: http://fribidi.sourceforge.net/ |
